Signed (by 117 countries) in 1982

Gives each country exclusive fishing and mining rights in waters extending to 200 nautical mi (370 km) from its coast.

Answer 2

Of course, UNCLOS is about the territorial waters... deep seas... exclusive ecomomic zone... baselines.... limit miles.... navigation passage... and a lot more about  seas... The signing was way back 1982 or 1986.  This is the longest case ever!!!!!
